Trying to help her sister pay for a divorce lawyer, she turns to a rich playboy (Warren William) she met at work. The cast includes Anita Page, Norman Foster, Joyce Compton, J.

The image features an interior medium shot of beautiful fashion model Margie Evans (
Marian Marsh
) as she covers herself from fellow employee
François (
Paul Porcasi
), as he holds a fur coat for her to put on. The border artwork at the right features a great full-length shot of Marian Marsh wearing a tight-fitting white dress with an exposed back as she looks over her shoulder at the viewer. This vintage original lobby card is unrestored in very fine- condition with a 0.75 in. light crease and signs of wear on the top left corner and the same-sized crease on the top right corner. There are no pinholes, tears, stains, or other flaws and the color tints are fresh and vibrant without any signs of fading. This is a great Pre-Code image from a really fun Pre-Code film.
